    Rental property expenses

    My customer owns a single family house rental property, She is not a real estate professional & this is her only rental property..
    In 2025 she spent about $20,000 to have new windows and doors installed.
    As I understand it, these items are depreciated as part of the house over 27.5 years.
    Is there a quicker way for cost recovery?
    Thanks for comments.

      Generally no, but see the following which mentions windows/doors. Also check your past CE material on Tangible Property Regulations from a few years back.

      We have incurred costs for substantial work on our residential rental property. We replaced the entire roof with all new materials, replaced all the gutters, replaced all the windows and doors, and replaced the furnace. As a result of these replacements, we painted the property’s exteriors. What are the IRS rules concerning capitalization and depreciation?
